PREFATORY NOTE 


[| Eatract from a letter written by Mr. Lockwood De Forest 
regarding his home and its contents | 


The collections of the well-known artist, architect and interior 
decorator, Mr. Lockwood De Forest, being unique, and of their kind 
of such exceeding rarity, it will certainly be of interest as well as 
of instructive value to quote from a letter to the American Art 
Association which he has written in reference to the contents of his 
former home at No. 7 East Tenth Street, New York City, and which 
letter, while personal in tone, is none the less so comprehensive that 
we believe that Mr. De Forest, who is now on his way to his California 
home, will have no objection to our publishing this extract. It reads 
as follows: 


“Mr. Stewart Culin, whose opinion I value more than that of any- 
one I know, wrote me that my house, 7 East 10th Street, was the hand- 
somest house he had ever seen, and my things far finer than in Sir 
Frederick Leighton’s house in London, which he left as a museum. I 
wonder why everything in carved wood brought from China, Japan and 
India was ever miscalled teak. Teak never grew in China or Japan, 
and no furniture was ever made in teak until I used it in the workshops 
I started in Ahmedabad in 1881. The furniture, which was brought to 
this country by some of the early sea-captains from Bombay, was made 
of what they call Bombay black wood, a species of gum wood. I never 
saw any teak at all till I found it on the carved house fronts of the 
Bombay Presidency. I helped Mr. I. Lockwood Kipling with the first 
exposition of Indian Art, which was opened at Christmas, 1881. He 
asked me to exhibit the carving I had done in my workshops. Some of 
it was immediately purchased by C. Purdon Clarke, then head of the 
India Museum at South Kensington, for the museum. He was knighted 
when he became Director of the South Kensington Museum, from which 
he came as Director of the Metropolitan. He spoke of the wonderful 
old carving, and rather doubted me when I told him that wood carving 
could be done as fine as any made in the past. I had the satisfaction 
of having him acknowledge when I sent specimens of the work done by 
my men in Ahmedabad that he had never seen such fine carving. I 
was awarded the medal at the Colonial Exhibition held in London, 
1886; and again at Chicago, when I exhibited there. 


“The present sale is due to my selling my house, 7 East 10th 
Street, built in 1888, and having to take everything out of it. The 
two large arches, with the very fine openwork spandrils, were made in 
1883, and the set of three arches when I planned the house in 1887. 
The large sideboard I designed from some old pieces of furniture I saw 
in India. There are eighty-three perforated copper panels in it, every 
one of different design from the others. The designs alone, even on 
paper, would have cost a fortune anywhere except in India. ‘There 
will never be another such piece made, nor will any such carving as 
in this sale ever be made again, as the skilled workmen are dead, and 
their sons, who would have continued the work, are now in the cotton 
mills tending spinning machines. The art is lost. The collection 
of Indian weapons is a very good one, and there are many fine pieces 
in it. The collection of Damascus chests, chest fronts and painted 
and paneled woodwork, and the tile, is the most important ever made. 
There are very few of these things now left in Damascus. I began my 
collection in 1876, and it has been continued up to 1913, when I got 
the last shipment. At that time there were very few tile offered for 
sale, and only in small lots of odd tile. The Indian metal collection 
is the most important ever made, except that there are very few of the 
figures of the Indian gods. Indian metal-work divides itself into 
objects made for religious worship and those made for household and 
personal use. There is no such thing as art metal-work, except what 
has been turned out for sale in the foreign market in tons. It is all 
rubbish, and comes under the head of Benares brass-work. If anyone 
wants to know what teakwood really is, let them look up the article 
on teak in the Encyclopedia Britannica.” 


CONDITIONS OF SALE 


I. Rejection of bids: Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the 
article offered or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the 
auctioneer if in his judgment such bid would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. 

Il. The buyer: The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises 
between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for 
re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

Ill. Identification and part payment by buyer: The name of the buyer of each lot 
shall be given immediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall 
sign a card giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her hame and 
address. 

Payment at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the 
purchase prices as may be required. 

f the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so purchased 
may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 

IV. Risk after purchase: Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 
and thereafter neither the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss or 
any damage to any article occasioned by theft, fire, breakage or any other cause. 

VY. Delivery of purchases: Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon pay- 
ment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

Deliveries will be made at the place of sale or at the storage warehouse to which 
purchases may have been removed. 

Deliveries at the American Art Galleries will be made only between the hours of 
9 A. M. and 1 P. M. on sales’ days and on other days—except holidays, when no deliveries 
will be made—between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. 

Deliveries at places of sale other than the American Art Galleries will be made 
only during the forenoon following the day of sale unless by special notice or arrange- 
ment to the contrary. 

Deliveries at the storage warehouse to which goods may have been sent will be made 
on any day other than holidays between the hours of 9 and 5. 

Deliveries of any purchases of small articles likely to be lost or mislaid may be 
made at the discretion of the auctioneer during the session of the sale at which they 
were sold. 

VI. Storage in default of prompt payment and calling for goods: Articles not paid 
for in full and either not called for by the purchaser or delivered upon his or her order 
by noon of the day following that of the sale will be turned over by the Association to 
Some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery 
therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage will be charged 
against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or 
storage will be upon the purchaser. 

VOTH: The Limited space of the Delivery Rooms of the Association 
makes the above requirements necessary, and it is not.alone for the 
benefit of the Association, but also for that of its patrons, whose goods 
Three would have to be so crowded as to be subject to damage 
and loss. 

VII. Shipping: Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which 
the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association 
for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for 
employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, 
without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the 
parties engaged for such service. 

VIII. Guaranty: The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot cor- 
rectly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error. 
defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association 
of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot 
and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or 
imperfection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold “as is” and without recourse. 

Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the 
Association will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the 
effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter 
sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby 
will become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without 
foundation. 

IX. Buying on order: Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible 
parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone will be faithfully 
attended to without charge or commission. Any purchases so made will be subject to 
the foregoing conditions of sale except that, in the event of a purchase of a lot of one 
or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been 
present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned within 
ten days from the date of sale and the purchase money will be refunded if the lot 
in any manner differs from its catalogue description. 

_ Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with such 
plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number 
be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and 
when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per 
volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the 
Association, a deposit should be sent or references submitted. Shipping directions should 
also be given. 

_ Priced Catalogues: Priced copies of the catalogue or any session thereof, will be 
furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copying 
the necessary information from the records of the Association.
